7 Be it knownthat I, HOMER PARlSH,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Charlotte, in the county ofEaton and State of Michigan, have invented a new and usea specification.a

t The device formin the subjectv matter of this application is a a tedto beemployed'.

for filtering water an is to be used primarily but not exclusively} inconnectionwith systems in which water is drawn irom' a cistern.

The invention aims to provide adeviceof the class described whi'ch'maybemanuiace: tured cheaply out of stock materials, the'de'-' vice being soconstructed that git can be cleaned readily, it being possible: to renewthe filtering material without difliculty,

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and; toenhance thefq utility of devices of that; type v which the inventionappertains. .7

Although a preferred form tion has been shown, it will be understood8r'go, -with the cap, and the filter is rendered that a mechanic,working within. the scope of what is claimed, may make changes,"withnrial 11 may beremoved and renewed.- With- "outdescribing everyjoint in the device, Fig- "";-ure 1 will make it manifest to a person(skilled in the art that the device ma be fashioned cheaply out of stockplum iug out departing from the spirit of the-invention.
